Corinth

Paul loved cities. It was in the major cities of his day that he did his evangelism and church planting. He knew that if he planted a church in a city then the surrounding area would also hear the Gospel. Corinth was a major city but it was also a wicked city. I think that we would wonder about someone wanting to go to a city like Corinth (or Las Vegas) to plant a church. People often went to those cities for other activities but not Paul. He knew that if he could establish a church in Corinth then it would open up all of southern Greece for the Gospel.
